step 4


I think there is an analogous relationship between paintings and sleep. Without sleep there is no dream. Anything can happen in a dream, even death. Now we have established possibility in our painting---We carefully must coax the dream from the piece, a sleeping canvas is easily woken and the dream destroyed forever. Architects are bad dreamers as they plan out everything beforehand with science and math and cold precision. Alex is a good dreamer because he lets the painting work with him and does not use a slide rule which are noisy and awake the painting.
